Verdict

The Nikkor AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED DX is a lens with many souls.
The lens is capable to deliver very good resolution figures and low CAs but
on the other hand distortions as well as vignetting are very pronounced
specifically at 18mm. However, most users will rarely use large aperture
settings at 18mm so the vignetting problem is usually no show stopper.
The build quality of the lens is very decent and the Silent-Wave drive
provides a speedy and silent AF. All-in-all the price performance ratio
of the Nikkor is very sound.
